Modular General Purpose Platform for Mobile Office IT Applications
Modern trains are equipped with increasingly complex embedded systems to run and monitor onboard equipment, enhance passenger comfort, and deliver new functions.
Not only does each independent application have its own hardware, but many also require a unique operating system and application software. This means railway management must deal with a host of different suppliers as well as communication and interoperability issues between systems or obsolescence problems.

Wherever electrical power is generated, there is also power dissipation, which heats up the components. This heat needs to be transferred away to prevent overheating. For semiconductors there is a maximum junction temperature, above which the semiconductor ceases to work. The right method to dissipate excess heat heavily depends on the mechanical and environmental conditions, as well as the field of application.
Conduction Cooling is a way of transporting the heat without needing fans, and also providing a metal frame makes the solution even more rugged!
Partout où de l'énergie électrique est générée, il y a aussi une dissipation d'énergie qui chauffe les composants. Cette chaleur doit être évacuée pour éviter la surchauffe. Pour les semi-conducteurs, il existe une température de jonction maximale au-dessus de laquelle le semi-conducteur cesse de fonctionner. La bonne méthode pour dissiper l'excès de chaleur dépend fortement des conditions mécaniques et environnementales, ainsi que du domaine d'application. Le refroidissement par conduction est un moyen de transporter la chaleur sans avoir besoin de ventilateurs, et le fait de fournir un cadre métallique rend la solution encore plus robuste !
Überall dort, wo elektrische Energie erzeugt wird, gibt es auch eine Verlustleistung, die die Komponenten erwärmt. Diese Wärme muss abgeführt werden, um eine Überhitzung zu vermeiden. Bei Halbleitern gibt es eine maximale Oberflächentemperatur, oberhalb derer der Halbleiter nicht mehr arbeitet. Die richtige Methode, überschüssige Wärme abzuführen, hängt stark von den mechanischen und Umgebungsbedingungen sowie dem Einsatzbereich ab.
Konduktionskühlung, also Conduction Cooling, ist eine Möglichkeit, die Wärme lüfterlos zu transportieren, wobei der dazu verwendete Metallrahmen die Lösung noch robuster macht.

5 Application Examples Using Wireless Communication in Harsh IoT EnvironmentsMEN Mikro Elektronik GmbH
IoT systems for data-intensive computing in harsh industrial applications carry with them a range of reliability and security issues for the network components. Secure data transmission and the wireless transport of data is a precondition for any device to communicate within the mobile Internet of Things.
Discover 5 Interesting Application Examples Using Wireless Communication in Harsh IoT Environments, and the standard components used.
Failures of safety-critical electronic systems can result in loss of life, substantial financial damage or severe harm to the environment.
Safe computer systems are typically used in avionics or railway applications requiring particularly high reliability. This also goes for the medical market, while industrial automation environments demand more and more functional safety as technology becomes readily available.
A secure system is one where the features are relatively inaccessible to unauthorized users, therefore the system is protected.
A safe system needs to be secure, whereas, a secure system may not need to be safe depending on the application.

Editor's Notes
The compact 19-inch system solutions from MEN are based on a modular concept with pre-configured built-to-order (BTO) functionality. These systems can be adapted quite flexibly, and enable a short-time-to-market.
Scalable CPU platforms, suitable I/O cards and a variety of fieldbus interfaces deliver a wide range of configuration options for use in harsh and mobile applications.
All systems use the same chassis with a width of 40 HP, allowing two systems to be placed side-by-side in a regular 19-inch chassis. Due to this compact size, it can be also wall-mounted.
The growing family currently includes the gigabit Ethernet switch NH30, the data storage system MH70S and the industrial PC MH70I.
Depending on the application, the robust pre-configured half 19-inch systems from MEN use a combination of CompactPCI and CompactPCI Serial boards.
Thanks to an especially developed adapter board, even PCI or PCI Express cards can be implemented and provide further I/O functionality.
Fail-safe AC or DC power supplies, which work redundantly, secure a constant and uninterrupted output of power in mission-critical environments.
All systems use the same chassis with a width of 40 HP, so two systems side-by-side can be placed in a regular 19-inch chassis. Due to this compact size it can be also wall-mounted.
Designed for use in trains, mass transit or industrial environments, the 29-Gigabit Ethernet switch NH30 offers carrier grade Layer 2 and Layer 3 VLAN routing capabilities.
The NH30 supports a total of 25 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and can be configured with up to six line cards as either active or passive copper connections, or as SFP interfaces.
In addition, the ports have PoE+ to enable the connection of different devices.
The MH70S is designed for storage intensive applications such as digital video recorders, content servers or NAS (Network Attached Storage Device).
A robust and safe operation of up to 5 HDD / SSD carriers make the modular storage system a real storage giant, with a storage capacity of up to 20 TB.
The HDD carriers can be configured in RAID 0, 1 or 5, while the carriers themselves have their own internal RAID 0, 1 and JBOD hardware configuration possibility.
On peripheral slots 1 and 2 the system can be equipped with Ethernet interfaces and / or Ethernet switches - the latter with Power over Ethernet functionality (PoE).
The MH70I is tailored to industrial applications and can be configured with a pre-defined set of boards. Functions range from analog or binary I/O via M-Modules, fieldbus functions, SATA hard disks or wireless functions, to Ethernet interface boards or Ethernet switches.
It is built around the F22P CompactPCI PlusIO SBC with an Intel Core i7 or Celeron processor, offering up to 16 GB DDR3 DRAM.
A SATA RAID with up to four HDD shuttles can be built in the CompactPCI Serial slots.
With our built-to-order configurator, which can be found on our website, ordering an individually configured 19-inch system is easy.
By choosing a basic unit with preconfigured functionality, you can add all your necessary accessories from a range of components with compatible software and functionality.
